News of the World ‘whistle-blower’ found dead

Unfortunately Sean Hoare has blown his last whistle. People losing their jobs is one thing - but their lives? That is a step too far. This whole listening to voice messages thing has gone way too far. Please can we have a reality check and put it into perspective?

Sean Hoare, the former News of the World journalist who made phone-hacking allegations against the paper has been found dead.

Hoare had made allegations that the practice of phone hacking was far more extensive than the News of the World acknowledged when police first investigated the claims.

Hertfordshire Police said the body of a man was found at a property in Langley Road, Watford, on Monday morning.

A police spokesman said the death was currently being treated as unexplained, but was not thought to be suspicious.

The spokesman said: “At 10.40am today police were called to Langley Road, Watford, following the concerns for welfare of a man who lives at an address on the street.”

“Upon police and ambulance arrival at a property, the body of a man was found. The man was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.”

“The death is currently being treated as unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious. Police investigations into this incident are ongoing.”

Mr Hoare had previously told the BBC’s Panorama TV documentary programme that phone hacking was “endemic” at the News of the World.

He also said the then News of the World editor Andy Coulson had asked him to hack phones – something Mr Coulson has denied.

There seems to be a daily resignation list at the moment. Today the Police Assistant Commissioner John Yates has resigned a day after his boss Sir Paul Stephenson stepped down.

This phone hacking thing has claimed more victims than the guillotine now and we are still waiting for some hard evidence to be made public. There must be some out there because all these people do not fall on their swords for nothing?

The 9/11 truth is out on the internet
This is the truth: The WTC was destroyed by 3 underground thermo-nuclear explosions. They were detonated by the US government which used this as an excuse to lead the US and its allies into invading Afghanistan and Iraq. All these wars and deaths were based on a lie.

Goebbels: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
